The Stomach Meridian Flow

Physical and Emotional Nourishment

The stomach meridian is a yang meridian and is paired with the Spleen yin meridian. It
functions with the Spleen Meridian in the assimilation of Qi from food through digestion and
absorption.

The stomach meridian starts at ST1, between the lower eyelid and the eye socket,
and runs down the face and loops up to the forehead. At ST8, it backtracks down

ending at ST45, the outside edge of the second toe.
